According to the Zhitong Finance and Economics APP, Kevin Hassett, director of the National Economic Council of the White House, former Federal Reserve Board of Governors member Kevin Warsh, current Federal Reserve Board of Governors member Christopher Waller, and current Secretary of the Treasury Scott Beeson have all been suggested by Wall Street analysts as candidates to lead the Federal Reserve. However, with Trump stating that Beeson wishes to focus on the role of Treasury Secretary, the market's focus is now on the two "Kevins" - Kevin Hassett and Kevin Warsh. It is understood that in a wide-ranging interview on CNBC's "Squawk Box" program, Trump spoke highly of both Kevin Hassett and Kevin Warsh.
